- Nocturnal (most active at night) and arboreal (tree dwelling). These frogs live in groups and will get along fine as long as there is proper space for each frog. A minimum of 4 gallons of tank space per frog is a good measure, but the tank should not be smaller than 10 gallons overall, even for one frog.arking tree frogs are generally olive green, brown, yellowish or gray in color with dark, round spots on the back. They have prominent toe pads for gripping, which are typical of tree frogs. The barking tree frog is the largest of the native US tree frogs and has a loud nighttime communication call.

Coral Reefs: the Tropical Rainforests of the Sea Coral reefs are particularly fragile ecosystems, partly due to their sensitivity to water temperature. When corals are physiologically stressed-as is the case when water temperatures are elevated-they may lose much of the their symbiotic algae, an event known as bleaching..oral Reefs: the Tropical Rainforests of the Sea Coral reefs are often called the tropical rainforests of the sea for their astounding richness of life.

- These single-celled algae live inside the coral polyp and producing food by photosynthesis. The polyp receives some of this food. In return the polyp provides shelter and nutrients to the algae. This gives reef-building coral two sources of food; the food they catch, and food from zooxanthellae. Zooxanthellae supply up to 95% of a polyp’s food requirements and it is this extra food that enables coral to build reefs.

- Corals need to grow in shallow water where sunlight can reach them. Corals depend on the zooxanthellae (algae) that grow inside of them for oxygen.

- So the question here is whether the problem dinoflagellates have this same response or not. As mentioned above, the exact species that are a problem in reef aquaria have not been identified, and even if identified, have probably not been studied with respect to their pH response.thers can become symbiotic photosynthetic organisms living inside corals, clams and other marine organisms (i.e., zooxanthallae). Some dinoflagellates are parasites on fish; still others are predators.

Corals are animals However, unlike rocks, corals are alive. And unlike plants, corals do not make their own food. Corals are in fact animals. The branch or mound that we often call “a coral” is actually made up of thousands of tiny animals called polyps.A coral polyp is an invertebrate that can be no bigger than a pinhead to up to a foot in diameter.Each polyp has a saclike body and a mouth that is encircled by stinging tentacles.he branch or mound that we often call “a coral” is actually made up of thousands of tiny animals called polyps.

Brain coral fact file Platygyra daedalea is a hermatypic coral which has microscopic algae known as zooxanthellae living within its tissues. These produce energy-rich molecules through photosynthesis, transferring most of what is produced to the coral, and in return receiving protection from currents, access to sunlight, and some nutrients from the coral’s waste products.

Malagasy Rainbow Frog Malagasy Rainbow Frog. The Malagasy Rainbow Frog, also known as the Painted Burrowing Frog, is a small species found only near the Isalo Massif in Madagascar. These colorful Amphibians grow to only 3-4cm in size, with the females being slightly larger than the males.

A Maldives Beach Awash in Bioluminescent Phytoplankton Looks Like an Ocean of Stars A Maldives Beach Awash in Bioluminescent Phytoplankton Looks Like an Ocean of Starsby Christopher Jobson on January 18, 2014. While vacationing on the Maldives Islands, Taiwanese photographer Will Ho stumbled onto an incredible stretch of beach covered in millions of bioluminescent phytoplankton. These tiny organisms glow similarly to fireflies and tend to emit light when stressed, such as when waves crash or when they are otherwise agitated.

Xerocole Amphibious xerocoles, such as species of the Phyllomedusa genus of frogs, have wax-like coatings on their skin to reduce water loss. The frogs secrete lipids from glands in their skin: when their skin begins to dry out, they move their limbs over the glands on their backs, and wipe the lipids over their bodies.

Losing Our Coral Reefs Coral reefs are colonies of individual animals called polyps, which are related to sea anemones. The polyps, which have tentacles to feed on plankton at night, play host to zooxanthellae, symbiotic algae that live within their tissues and give the coral its color.

Phytoplankton are microscopic marine plants These blooms can be problematic because the excess algae can block out sunlight, which is bad for plants like seagrasses that need sunlight to make food. Zooxanthallae, or symbiotic algae that live in the tissue of coral and supply coral with food, can also be impacted by algal blooms.

Cyanobacteria Metabolism and organelles. Cyanobacteria have an elaborate and highly organized system of internal membranes which function in photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria get their colour from the bluish pigment phycocyanin, which they use to capture light for photosynthesis.Photosynthesis in cyanobacteria generally uses water as an electron donor and produces oxygen as a by-product, though some may also use hydrogen sulfide as occurs among other photosynthetic bacteria.n some cyanobacteria, the color of light influences the composition of phycobilisomes. In green light, the cells accumulate more phycoerythrin, whereas in red light they produce more phycocyanin. Thus the bacteria appear green in red light and red in green light.

- Other animals that live on the coral reef include sea urchins, sponges, sea stars, worms, fish, sharks, rays, lobster, shrimp, octopus, snails and many more. Many of these animals work together as a team like the coral polyps and zooxanthellae. This teamwork is called symbiosis.eefs need calcium from the water to grow, which is more often available in shallow warm waters. PLANTS: The sun is the source of energy for the coral reef ecosystem. Plant plankton, called phytoplankton, algae and other plants convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Coral Reefs Through the photosynthesis carried out by their algae, coral serve as a vital input of food into the tropical/sub-tropical marine food-chain, and assist in recycling the nutrients too. The reefs provide home and shelter to over 25% of fish in the ocean and up to two million marine species.

Can Hair Be Repaired By Keratin? Bought a bunch of corals from somebody in December. One was this frogspawn that's not done very well. It has always been a very light color, but turned completely white about two weeks ago (except for light green tips). I moved it to a location with less light and current when it turned white and now it seems a lot better, but still white.

What are Zooxanthellae? Zooxanthellae are single-celled plants that live in the tissues of animals. They are dinoflagellates, a group of microscopic plants which are usually found swimming and floating in the sea.Organisms which live like this are called plankton, and those that are plants are called phytoplankton.n tropical waters almost all coral animals contain a colony of zooxanthellae. Without these symbiotic plants, the coral animals would be unable to obtain enough nutrients to build their calcium carbonate skeletons, which accumulate to form the vast coral reefs of the tropics.

- 1 Whereas nearly all temperate frogs lay their eggs in water, the majority of rainforest species place eggs in vegetation or lay them in the ground. 2  By leaving the water, frogs avoid egg-predators like fish, shrimp, aquatic insects, and insect larvae. Among the best known of rainforest amphibians are the tiny, but brilliantly colored poison dart (arrow) frogs [members of the Dendrobatidae family].

- In nature, coral ranges from rich pinks to a deep reddish-orange, and the color can be found in the exoskeletons of tiny animals that form coral reefs, the petals of flowering plants, butterfly and exotic bird wings and bands of light at sunset.

- Consequently, mechanisms to either shade (prevent) or repair damage potentially play an important role. In this study, the role of photoreactivation in the survival of coral planulae was examined. Photoreactivation is a light-stimulated response to UV-damaged DNA in which photolyase proteins repair damaged DNA.

- Al brought up the coral bleaching issue, an issue that is often cited in global warming debates. Coral has an interesting relationship with algae that is required for coral to survive. Coral does not actually bleach, the colorful algae dies causing the coral to die. Researching the coral bleaching was interesting.
